Voice memos sync not shown in iTunes

I am trying to sync my voice memos to iTunes a couple of times. They are not shown. I haven't updated my iPhone 5s to the latest software yet. It's still running iOS 7; my iTunes was updated though. Does anyone have a solution for this?
Thank you!!!

You need to open iTunes on your computer. Then select music library from the left-hand. Then in the search window on the top right of the screen type in voice memo . The voice memo should now appear in the list is available music in the middle of the iTunes screen

  • Voice Memo will not export into iTunes

    I am currently using an iPhone 3GS and I have a 2008 MacBook running Lion with the latest version of iTunes 10.4.1. For some reason, I cannot get voice memos to import into iTunes. I don't know if length of memos has anything to do with this or not, but it hasn't been an issue in the past. In iTunes, I choose to manually import my digital media since the storage capacity of my current iPhone is relatively small.
    I work as a vocational high school counselor. I like to record meetings with students so that the have an audio record of the things that we cover for college prep. The meetings can run fairly long, which is standard, I'm hoping that the length isn't an issue. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Do you see a Voice Memos playlist in iTunes?
    Check out page 162 of the iPhone User Guide.
    iTunes syncs voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPhone to your computer. This lets you listen to voice memos on your computer and provides a backup if you delete them from iPhone.
    Voice memos are synced to the Voice Memos playlist. iTunes creates the playlist if it doesn’t exist. When you sync voice memos to iTunes, they remain in the Voice Memos app until you delete them. If you delete a voice memo on iPhone, it isn’t deleted from the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. However, if you delete a voice memo from iTunes, it is deleted from iPhone the next time you sync with iTunes.
    You can sync the iTunes Voice Memos playlist to the iPod app on iPhone using the Music pane in iTunes.
    Sync the Voice Memos playlist to iPhone:
    Connect iPhone to your computer.
    In iTunes, select iPhone in the Devices list.
    Select Music at the top of the screen.
    Select the “Include voice memos” checkbox and click Apply.

  • Some Voice Memos do not sync, Voice Memos tab under iPhone blank

    I have all my iPhone music and videos manually managed, but somehow the voice memos got synced to my iTunes automatically each time I click Sync iPhone under the album "Voice Memos" and artist name "&MyPhoneName" which is fine by me. Is that normal? How to turn it on or off?
    Then I notice that some of the voice memos do not sync, and the Voice Memo tab under iPhone is blank. All the voice memos are still in my iPhone. How does that happen?

    In the music part of your iphone in itunes, uncheck the box for syncing voice memos. Then apply changes. Check that it is all gone on your iphone. Go back to itunes and check the box for voice memos and sync. Itunes would copy the voice memos back to your iphone in the process.
    that worked for me. +Don't forget to update to ios 6 latest, as apple fixed (at least improved) the bug causing wrongly sync music/voice memos not appearing.

  • IPhone 5s to Macbook iTunes Voice memo sync??

    I have an iPhone 5s and recently purchased a Macbook Air. When I had a PC, my iPhone and iTunes always synced perfectly, including the voice memos, which would save to my library in the designated playlist. Now, when I connect my iPhone to my Macbook and iTunes opens, it will sync my device, but the Voice memos will not transfer from iPhone to my library. This is an issue because I want to download these large files (lectures) to my computer so I can delete them off of my iPhone. Please help!

  • I have both an iPod and Ipad 2. Latest I have sync. ipod. Now when I want to sync. iPad 2 in iTunes its only iPod mentioned in sync. window and it does not help to connect iPad. its not shown in iTunes. What to do next?

    I have both an iPod and iPad 2. Latest I have sync. iPod and now I want to sync iPad, but iPad is not shown in iTunes when connected. I have the latest iTunes version.

    If your computer starts image capture or some other camera software you should be able to quit that and then your iPad will show up in iTunes. Mine does this all the time.
    The preference on what to start up when a "camera" is connected is found in Image Capture. So start Image Capture. It's in the applications > Utility folder. Then look for preferences. In my version it's in the lower left corner. Select None or Nothing and quit the program. From then on your iPad should show correctly in iTunes. But you will most likely have to start your smear software manually when you do connect a camera to your computer.

  • How do I transfer voice memos from my iPhone to iTunes?

    How do I transfer voice memos from my iPhone5 to iTunes?

    In the Sync settings area of iTunes when the phone is connected, you check the Music area, and check off Voice Memos too. I'm not sure right now what the exact verbiage is but it is where you check off what music you want to sync.

  • Voice memos are not transferred to my Mac

    I am trying to transfer some voice memos from my iPhone to my Macbook. I select 'include voice memos' in iTunes under the Music tab. But all what is doing is to transfer voice memos from my Mac to my iPhone, not vice versa. After syncing when I check the voice memos in the side bar of the iTunes I do not see my iPhone's voice memos. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I'm having the same problem. The voice memos do not transfer to my G5. Some people get a Voice Memo folder in iTunes but I don't. On the smaller sized memos I have been e-mailing them to myself and then they show up int iTunes. Once they get into iTunes I found them in a folder called Unknown Artist.
    It would be really helpful if some one could fix this problem with the transfer. I have recorded my 99 year grandmother using this but because they are too long and the transfer doesn't work, I can't get them off my iPhone.

  • Can someone please explain Voice Memos syncing?

    Hi All,
    I'm really, really, really confused about Voice Memos, and syncing them with iTunes. My setup is an iPhone 5, and a MacBook Pro Retina 13". My wife also has an iPhone, and we both sync them to iTunes on the Mac, including backing them up to the Mac, not iCloud backups. Since I signed up to iTunes Match not so long ago, I've noticed that the Voice Memos on the phones and iTunes are literally all over the place! And it's really confusing. 
    I assumed it was as simple as it really should be (whatever you record to the Voice Memo App on the iPhone simply gets added to iTunes whenever it's synced, and as you create more and more voice memos they just keep adding to somewhere in iTunes, along with the names you gave them when you recorded, or the name it's given by the App if you choose not to name it). It would be brilliant if that's how it worked, but for some reason it's incredibly confusing and complicated to work out where files are, why names change, why duplicate files appear, disappear, move altogether even!!?!!
    There are literally so many questions I have about things I'm going to have to just list the main ones below and hope someone somewhere can shed some light for me!! I'm a songwriter by the way hence the large number of voice memo recordings.
    Cheers in advance,
    Phil
    The 3 main questions I have...
    * If I name a recording on my phone then sync it, iTunes gives the file the same name (great!). Why then if I rename the file in the Music library in iTunes and sync the phone again does the name NOT change on my iPhone? Surely keeping things in sync across devices and software makes more sense than leaving older names on one thing and newer somewhere else?
    * I have a list of Voice Memo recordings on my iPhone, that's the only place I've ever recorded the memos. So why, when I sync the phone, do those voice memos not just appear in one long list called Voice Memos under the "On My Device" list? I have a Voice Memos list that has about 13 voice memos on it, but on my iPhone there are hundreds... why aren't they all lumped in with the Voice Memos list? As I say I've only ever recorded these memos on my various iPhones all of which has been created from backups of the very first iPhone I had (3GS).
    * Why do Voice Memos my wife has created on her iPhone appear in my Voice Memo App on my iPhone? At no point have I ever ticked anything she's recorded and asked it to appear on my phone? And similarly, why have 10's of my recordings appeared on her iPhone? Surely when you sync the individual phones they keep the Voice Memos separate to each phone?
    * I have a list of voice memo recordings on my iPhone all named the same date and time, roughly 50 I'd say, yet they are all different previous recordings I've made. Any idea how this happened?
    PS. I'm aware that the likelihood is it's some sort of user error, and this isn't all Apple's fault, so please be polite in your response, as I'm in no way "Apple bashing", I just want this one confusing area cleared up for me!

    Hi,
    Many thanks for replying, but I'm not sure I've explained myself very well, or not enough for you to be able to understand the various problems I'm having. In answer to your questions;
    1. Yes I understand that if I rename a voice memo in iTunes it then can't find the same file on the phone. I'm just wondering why that is the case? If I rename the file in the voice memo app on the phone it alters it when syncing to iTunes. So why not the other way round? Surely keeping things in sync not out of sync is the idea? If I alter a Note in my phone, then my Mac, then my iPad (the same Note) it renames it on all my devices keeping them in sync. Why is this not the case for voice memos? Or is there a setting I've not got right?
    2. No we use the same iTunes account on my Mac. The iTunes accounts is signed in to my Apple ID only. The voice memos keep getting mixed up between phones. Yet nothing else does. The music we've synced, the apps we purchased individually, the ringtones, books, etc. They all stay separate across the two devices when syncing. But voice memos for some reason keeping moving across to each others phones. Why?

  • Iphone Voice Memo Sync Solved?

    Recently got an Iphone 3GS. Couldn't get the iphone voice memos to sync to Itunes, except once by trimming the memo and that seemed a fluke.  I didn't want to go through the steps of consolidating my itunes library which has worked for some, as I didn't want all that duplication going on. I found that once the Iphone is connected, there is ANOTHER box that needs to be checked that Apple has not mentioned as far as I know: The name of your iPhone in the Artists box.
    1. Connect Iphone to computer. Note that I do not automatically sync my Itunes or iphone but manual only; others may differ.
    2. At the top of the Summary page, select the Music tab which opens the music page, at the top of which is a box that you check called Sync Music. (That 'sync music' is just a setting, not the 'sync' button at the bottom that actually syncs.)
    I make sure that under that the 'selected playlists artists albums and genres' is selected, then below that is checked the 'include voice memos'...
    3. Under that you should see a list of categories playlists, artists, etc. You can check the box 'Voice Memo' under Playlists, but don't know if this is crucial. There is another Voice Memos box under 'Genre' which you can click but also don't know if it's crucial.
    4. Most importantly, go to the Artists list, scroll down and find the name you use for your Iphone. THAT'S the box that seems most important. Then with all those boxes checked the computer may request you to hit the 'apply' button at bottom right for those changes, then click the Synch button on the bottom right of the page and all voice memos go from iphone to iTunes.
    To get them out of Itunes for backup go to the left hand column in the Itunes window where it says 'PLAYLISTS' (not the playlists on the music page, but the heading in the left hand column usually below the 'STORE' and 'DEVICES' headings.) This PLAYLISTS heading shows the iTunes folders on your computer, not your iphone, scroll down and through the playlists until you come to 'Voice Memos'. Open that and then you can drag the voice memos onto your desktop like any other itunes file. (If you mistakenly open the Voice Memos folder under the Devices heading, that's your Iphone, and you will not be able to drag those files onto your desktop. Ideally disconnect your iphone before doing this.)
    I would like to know if this works for other than the two MacBook Pros I tried it on; note that this presumes your iphone name will show up in the Artists list; if not that may be another problem.

    Can someone help me with that?

  • Voice memos do not delete (1 hr of recordings)!

    Where I find these "undeleted" voice memos.  When I connect iPhone, itunes opens and on the top right I click iPhone. There are 10 tabs in total (Summary - Info - Apps - Tones - Music - Movies - TV Shows - Books - Photos - On This iPhone). I click On This iPhone.  On the far left side, it lists from top to bottom Music - Movies - Tones - All of my playlists.  The last one lists Voice Memo.  I click on Voice Memo.  I find 10 messages from June and July 2012, which I have deleted off of my iphone AND itunes.  I want to delete these 10 voice memos.  They are NOT on iPhone or iTunes.  I tried searching through computer, but nothing is found. 
    So why not delete them now? I physically can't.  I right click on the voice memo and there is no option to Copy, Paste, DELETE file.  It only gives the option of playing the music.  It is easier to see what I am saying so I am attaching a snapshot.  Notice that the voice memos are on my iphone, but not in itunes.  I looked all over itunes and there is not one voice memo.  Also, under the Music tab, include voice memos is not checked.

    try this one.

  • Help! I've deleted my voice memos playlist on iTunes. How do I transfer my voice memos on my iPhone to iTunes for a second time?

    Help! I've deleted my voice memos playlist on iTunes. How do I transfer my voice memos on my iPhone to iTunes for a second time?

    You need to have the latest version of iTunes on the computer, version 11.1.3 to be able to handle syncing a newer phone with iOS 7. The iTunes on the iPhone has nothing to do with syncing and is installed by the iOS.
    Go to iTunes on the computer, click on Help, Check for updates to update iTunes on the computer, or go to to www.apple.com/itunes/download and download and install the latest version of iTunes to correct your problem.

  • Voice Memos will not play through Home Sharing on other devices.

    I have synced my voice memos to my Apple library on my Mac Mini and can listen to them on that device with no problem. However, when I use my iPad or MacBook or Air to play the memos using my Home Sharing the voice memos will not play on the device. Sometimes a random song will start instead of the voice memo. I can play videos and music through Home Sharing with no problems, it seems to be only the voice memos that won't stream to the connected devices. Any help would be great (using Yosemite on devices).

    I'm running 4.3.3 on mine and just played Joe Ely's latest album on my 1st generation Zeppelin. I do get the message about it not being compatible and possible noise but I dismiss that and play the music.
    You may need to reset your Zeppelin (disconnect it from power, wait 2 minutes, plug it back in), Reset you iPhone (hold down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttones) or do both.
    You may also need to update the firmware on your Zeppelin if you have not done so before now.

  • Transfer large voice memos after deleting them from iTunes

    I cannot for the life of me figure out how to transfer large voice memos to my computer from my iPhone.
    I synced my phone without changing the names of the voice memos--- so they were in iTunes in a random order and it just confused me. I deleted them in iTunes and renamed them in my voice memos..... now I can't download them with the correct name! I can't find how to get them back off the iPhone into my iTunes or even to my desktop to burn onto a CD. ???????
    I cannot email them or message them because they are large files. I've tried to email them and it states that an email has been sent (there was an email sent sound) but nothing ever shows up in my email account.
    All I want to do is put my newly titled voice memos into a folder on my desktop.
    PLEASE help! I wish this was easier to do!

    i feel your pain
    this is so infuriating
    it's great little app, and so easy to record audio on the fly.
    BUT then absolutely impossible to easily transfer them to my desktop.
    infuriating
